Liverpool boss Klopp says Van Dijk in good shape after his knee operation

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Virgil van Dijk is in good shape after his knee operation.

Klopp offered an update ahead of their Champions League meeting with Ajax.

He said, "Considering the current circumstances, he is doing really well. His knee doesn't look good to be honest. It doesn't look like a knee should.

"[But] it looks good for a knee that has had surgery. He is doing well."

On Trent Alexander-Arnold, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri, Klopp continued, "They are all getting closer but not close enough for tomorrow, I think. With Naby we have to check still.

"Trent looks quite good. Nobody gave me green light for tonight so he will not train with the team.

"He has been outside doing his rehab stuff, that looks really good. But from my experience and what I saw today, it will not be that long with Trent."
